Talk ‘N Text wingman Jared Dillinger presided over a blistering third quarter assault to lead the Sophomores to a 106-87 rout of the Rookies in the Blitz Game which capped All-Star Week Friday at the Puerto Princesa Coliseum here.
Dillinger, who won MVP honors in the Victorias City leg of last year’s All-Star Game series featuring the Powerade RP Team, had 15 of his 18 points in the second half, nine of them in the third period where the second-year All-Stars outscored their freshmen counterparts 30-10, to turn a 40-48 halftime disadvantage into a 70-58 lead entering the fourth.
“He’s just amazing and such a great talent,” said winning coach Luigi Trillo of Dillinger, adding the University of Hawaii alumnus, who also had three rebounds, four assists and two shotblocks, could be a full-pledge superstar right now if only he were with another team.
“It’s unfortunate that Jared’s in the same team as (Jason) Castro, (Jimmy) Alapag and (Mark) Cardona. Let’s say if he were with Rain or Shine and (Sol) Mercado was with Talk 'N Text, Jared should easily be the man at Rain or Shine,” explained Trillo, one of Tim Cone’s assistants at Alaska.
Trillo revealed Cone gave him valuable advice going into the Rookies-Sophomores Blitz Game.
“Coach Tim gave me a great advice and it was not too overcoach and just let the players play,” added Trillo.
And play his players did led by Dillinger who had three triples in a 28-7 run by the Sophomores which broke the game’s last deadlock at 56-all and gave them a commanding 84-63 lead, the biggest in the game.
It was actually a come-from-behind win for the Sophomores which trailed the Rookies by as much as 16 in the second period.
Jeff Chan and Mark Yee actually led the way in scoring for the Sophomores with their 27 and 24 points, respectively, but most of their points came in the fourth when the game’s outcome was already beyond recall.
Chan had 14 of his points in the final period while Yee had 12 and added a game-high 11 rebounds but had seven turnovers which was also a game-high.
Ogie Menor led the Rookies with his 19 points, Jervy Cruz contributed 18 while Josh Urbiztondo had 17 built around five triples. (FM)
The scores:
Sophomores 106 – Chan 27, Yee 24, Dillinger 18, Gregorio 10, Belga 7, Borboran 7, Rodriguez 7, Reyes 6.
Rookies 86 – Menor 19, Cruz 18, Urbiztondo 17, Ross 11, Marias 9, Timberlake 7, Arellano 6, Burtscher 0.
Quarterscores: 20-17, 40-48, 70-58, 106-87.
